terminator 2
Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe
Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.
Godfather 1 Highlander Empire of the Sun Backdraft Star Wars Ep. 4 Goodfellas Purple Rain
Lost Highway with lots of tracks from Angelo Badalamenti.
Buckaroo Banzai
Memories of Matsuko and Sakuran.
Beauty and the Beast
But also I recently saw the comedy Bottoms, and thought Charlie XCX did a great job with that soundtrack
Soundtrack or score?
Soundtrack: Judgement Night. Paired hip hop artists with rock and metal bands. Biohazard and Onyx fucking tear it up. And Faith No More and Boo Yaa Tribe sounds incredible.
Score: Terminator 2. James Cameron is incredible about quality sound in his films. One of the best directors for sound in the biz.
Monsoon Wedding
Some of my favorites
Disney's animated Robin Hood - some amazing folk songs, o brother where art thou has a lot of great old timey/folksy songs too
The Third Man - the zither to end all zithers
anything by John Williams or Hans Zimmer for that big epic sound with recurring motifs- star wars, Indiana Jones, interstellar, etc
Baby Driver - lots of variety, the chase sequence with Hocus Pocus by Focus is amazing
The Blues Brothers - not just great blues, tons of soul, motown, etc with a lot of energy
The Guest - parody of '80s action/thriller style movies, soundtrack is lots of electronic & synth, feels a little like a darker version of the Drive soundtrack which is also great
A couple directors that have a very specific sound direction/profiles to them too are Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and John Carpenter.
Nightcrawler
Prince of Egypt
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
The Mission 1986.
Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.
The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.
Guardians of the Galaxy and Pulp Fiction 😍
The Natural
X-files.
I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is my absolute fav.
Rockers
Ghost Dog
